This study was performed to get basic information about properties of high blaine cement for shotcrete use. Particle size distribution, setting time and compressive strength test, analysis like as SEM, DSC thermal analysis, XRD was carried out to investigate principle properties of high blaine cement. Setting time of high blaine cement was shorter and compressive strength was higher than those of ordinary portland cement (OPC). Results of analysis showed early hydration products of high blaine cement is smaller and spread widely due to increased specific surface. From the SEM observation and analysis of DSC and XRD results, it was seen that the aluminates accelerators promoted calcium aluminium hydrates while the alkali free accelerators increased ettringite and monosulfates formation. Strength and setting time measurement of cement paste with aluminate accelerator is more effective than the alkali free accelerator in reducing the setting time and increasing early strength while alkali free accelerator is more effective in increasing the strength after 7 days.

The purpose of this study is to produce the low-carbon eco-friendly inorganic composite at room temperature by an alkali accelerator without firing process at high temperature, and complement the problem of previous studies, the deterioration in strength caused by cracking, with incorporation of PVA fibers. Results of reviewing the changes in the strength properties of PVA showed that test body mixed with PVA fibers had the superiority in strength expression.

Nuclear imaging is one of the most powerful measures for non-invasive diagnosis of myocardial vascular disease. Radionuclide such as ¹³N, ¹⁵O, ²⁰¹Tl and ⁸²Rb is used for the measurement of cardiac blood flow. ¹³N, ¹⁵O and ²⁰¹Tl are produced in cyclotrons while ⁸²Rb is obtained from generator. Rubidium (Rb), an alkali ion, behaves biologically like potassium, and accumulates in myocardial tissue. Rb has rapid blood clearance profile which allows the use of ⁸²Rb with a short physical half-life of 75 s for non-invasive evaluation of regional myocardial perfusion. There are several advantages of ⁸²Rb over other radioisotopes. An ultra-short half-life significantly reduces the exposure of patients to radiation and allows to repeat injections for studying the effects of medical intervention. As a positron emitter, ⁸²Rb allows positron emission tomography (PET) imaging which have shown superior diagnostic performances. ⁸²Rb can be produced from generator by decay of its parent ⁸²Sr. However, the preparation of ⁸²Sr is difficult, because appropriate purity is required to meet the specification of the product. Recently reported procedure from ARRONAX research institute showed that a Chelex-100 resin is sufficient for this purpose and additional column is not necessary. Whereas Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) procedure contains three ion exchange resin separation, including Chelex-100 resin. Currently, since ⁸²Sr production site is non-existent in Korea, Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) has plan to produce ⁸²Sr within specifications. We compared ⁸²Sr purification procedures reported from ARRONAX and BNL to investigate the most suitable procedure for our conditions.

The purpose of this study is to identify the manufacturing possibility of non-cement mortar using blast furnace slag and alkali accelerator. In this experimental study, the blast furnace slag which is the by-product of the steel industry substitute for cement, and the potassium hydroxide(KOH), calcium hydroxide ($Ca(OH)_2$) and sodium hydroxide(NaOH) as stimulus were added to each specimen. And the analysis on reaction property of non-cement mortar was conducted by measurement such as flexural and compressive strength, XRD, EDS and SEM. From the test results, it can be founded that $SiO_2$ and CaO included in the blast furnace slag are released and make the calcium silicate hydrate like the hydration reaction of the cement. Also, the continued study is need to reduce emission of $CO_2$ because of major content in filed of the building construction.

The weight loss for the mixture(raw-silk/PET) was tested to investigate the effects of weight loss accelerator on the degumming and weight loss. The degumming loss of raw-silk was decreased while the weight loss polyester(PET) was increased depending on the increase of accelerator concentration. The difference of the weight loss was not significant in raw-silk but the weight loss of PET was increased with the increase of the alkali concentration. The proper degumming of raw-silk was obtained and simultaneously the weight loss of PET was high for the raw-silk/PET "A" and "B" type. The proper degumming of raw-silk was obtained but the weight loss of PET was low for the raw-silk/PET "D" and "E" type. It showed that the typical degumming curve in raw-silk part and the weight loss of PET was increased depending on the treatment time in the weight loss for the fabric composed of raw-silk and PET.

In general, repair mortar is used to rehabilitate underground communities, but difficulties are encountered in the execution of long-term construction due to spatial co-operatives. In this study, the engineering properties of repair mortar according to the curing condition and accelerator type were reviewed. The results showed that the aluminate, alkali-free and calcium-aluminate precipitates in the water curing conditions showed higher compressive strength at the beginning of age than mortar specimens under air curing conditions, and increased. Especially in CA and AF test specimen with cement mineral quick setting, a large amount of ettringite products were observed compared with AL, thus reducing the pore volume and increasing the strength of the compound by micro-filling effect were found.

The test on the mix of PVA fiber of low carbon inorganic composite as a cement substitute found it to be satisfactory in terms of flexibility and stiffness. The result of the evaluation of the properties of low carbon inorganic panel revealed that the absorptivity was low at 8 to 9%, which is lower than the KS value of 25%. Also, the test on non-combustibility and gas toxicity found that these factors satisfied the decision criteria. In the test on heavy metals discharges, Pb, Cd, Cr6+, Hg, and As were not detected. Regarding far-Infrared emissivity and formaldehyde emission, the substitute was found to be harmless to the human body. Therefore, if the issue of shrinkage, which is a disadvantage of inorganic composites, is addressed, it is judged that it is possible to develop a low carbon inorganic composite panel with better performance.

Recently, E-glass fiber is the one of most widely used ceramic fiber for aerospace fields. Recycling technology for waste of wind power blades is arising issue for reasons of low manageability and high cost of wastes. Though glass fiber is perfectly dissolved in hydrofluoric acid, low cost for recycling and harmless to human is important for recycling of blades. Chemically melted glass fiber will be used as different purpose like accelerator of hardening for shotcrete. In this study, dissolution process of glass fiber is tested in NaOH solution at low temperatures. In addition, difference in diameter reduction of glass fiber is observed by various alkali concentration and reaction times, treatment temperatures using FE-SEM.

This study analyzed flowing and strength properties of mortar depending to fine aggregate types and replacement ratio by using blast furnace slag, red mud, and silica fume that are industrial by products. The findings showed that higher replacement level of fine aggregate increased air content while decreased table flow. In addition, compressive strength showed that the higher replacement level was regardless of fine aggregate types, the lower strength became. Mortar substituted by the dredged sand showed high strength.

This study analyzed and compared the flowing and strength properties of mortar depending on the different fine aggregate replacement ratios and whether or not the mixing of PVA fiber was applied. blast furnace slag, red mud, and silica fume that are industrial by-products were used for the analysis. The findings showed that higher replacement level of fine aggregate increased air content while decreasing the table flow. In addition, in case of the compressive strength, Plain mortar and PVA fiber with the replacement ratios of 15% and 30%, respectively showed the greatest strength development.
